Abstract
This paper presents the preliminary results of an undergoing study about the implementation of RFID technology in the shoe industry in Ecuador. As a starting point, descriptions about the benefits and limitation of RFID and the logistics scenario in Ecuador are provided. Then, the implications of adopting RFID along the entire shoe supply chain are discussed, including two governmental control agencies. Finally, some additional considerations such as implementation challenges and financial implications are discussed.
